Overview
In this documentary, tā moko artist and kapa haka teacher Sacha Te Utupoto Keating rode the Whanganui River on a journey to discover his whakapapa. Director Howard Taylor followed Sacha's personal story and the wider histories of the awa, weaving reconstructions, archival footage and lush river images into a rich story of people and place. "Taylor's investigation of the mythical, historical, ecological and spiritual aspects of the Whanganui River is deeply moving." said Grant Smithies in The Sunday Star-Times. "You're left entertained, enlightened and politicised."
